Geological & Scientific Details:
- Fossil Type: Ammonite (typically preserved as a coiled, planispiral shell)
- Species: Pseudogrammoceras mulleri
- Order: Ammonitida
- Superfamily: Hildoceratoidea
- Family: Graphoceratidae
- Geological Stage: Aalenian (approx. 174.1 – 170.3 million years ago)
- Period: Jurassic
- Locality: Aveyron, Occitanie region, southern France
- Depositional Environment: Shallow marine basin with fine-grained, carbonate-rich sedimentation typical of early Middle Jurassic environments in southern Europe
Morphology & Features:
- Involute shell with well-defined growth lines and ribbing
- Flanks are gently convex, leading to a moderately rounded venter
- Ribs may bifurcate and show slight curvature, indicative of this genus
- The suture line, if visible, displays typical lobes of the Graphoceratidae
- Compact form makes it ideal for display or comparative studies
Scientific Significance: Pseudogrammoceras mulleri is an important ammonite species for Aalenian biostratigraphy, helping to define biozones within the early Middle Jurassic. Its limited geographical and stratigraphic range makes it a valuable index fossil. First described by paleontologists studying the classic Jurassic successions of France and Germany, it continues to inform geological correlation studies across Europe.
Specimens like this one contribute to understanding ammonite diversity and evolutionary development after the Toarcian turnover event.
Ideal For:
- Advanced collectors of ammonites and Jurassic material
- Educational use in geology or paleontology
- Academic reference in biostratigraphy or ammonite taxonomy
Included With Purchase:
- The exact Pseudogrammoceras mulleri fossil shown
- Certificate of Authenticity
- Secure and protective packaging
